If you lose the coconut flavour,add desacated coconut for a week then filter it through coffee filters to make it bright again

If you chill the wine long enough,the haze should vanish. It's caused by protein in the wine,sounds scary but nothing to worry about 😉

I normally do all grain but love this kit! I'm making it up later with 1kg of muscovado,1kg of tate and lyle, a 454g tin of treacle and 500g of pure coca powder. Hopefully it should be have a little kick to it. Tempted to boil up 150g of torriffied barley to give it a great head. What...

Does anyone have a discount code for thehomebrewcompany? Going to be ordering cornis and grain at the end of the month and every penny helps lol

Ooo IPA,now ya talking ;-) cheered clibit,I'll let you know how it turns out

Cheers clibit! Think I'll drop the admiral to 15g or 20g and up the wheat to 300g. I'll prob keep the crystal to balance out the bitterness and the dry hopping. I like a strong flavourful beer (less bottles to wash)

I'm thinking challenger at either 20 mins or flame out. Then poss dry hop with both. Do you think 150g or 250g would be better? Many thanks :-)

I'll be making this up today with shmbo. Think its funny that most kits only need brewing sugar and this one calls for coopers no.2 or it turns out poo! I'll be using plane old Tate n lyle with this and adding a vanilla pod. I know it'll be thin on taste so I may add lime or chilli when bottled...

This is always the way,sale started on Thurs,I ordered the Coopers Mexican and crown caps on Wednesday! Typical lol

I'd love the chance to win this book!

Cheers for the link for the Brewstore. Just have to wait till payday and I'm giving BIAB ago. I'm thinking light malt,some crystal and maybe some choc for colour. :-) just trying to work out which hop to go for.

If the yeast can take it,it should finish around the 10% area. Think of it as a barley wine kinda brew

Well,finings added and left to settle for a few days and its still cloudy. What I want to no is If I bottle it now and allow it to condition, will I be asking for problems? Thanks for your help

SG is down to 1010 and still fizzing away nicely. Had a very sneaky taste when I was checking and tastes really nice,still yeasty as you'd expect but not really sweet. Tasted a little like hoegaarden. A couple more days and I'll add some finings. Can't wait!!

I've just started this kit,forgot the brewing sugar on our weekly shop so substituted it with 2kgs Tate an Lyle :-P. I'm normally a wine or stout drinker, and a citrus larger now and then is kinda nice,and I've read on here that this kit makes a brill base for that. Start SG is 1052 so should...

Hi ya,I'd prob use half the enhancer and 500g of dark brown sugar. I've ,well my wife made this kit and added everything including the kichen into it but it smells lush. Let us know how it turns out

I made a coopers stout and used treacle, golden syrup, muscovado as well as enhancer and brew sugar and its strong and tastes fantastic lol Think by better half is planing kick my butt with this brew. Do you think it may be a tad sweet or strong enough to run a car on. She wanted to make a...

Hi Kieran,I'm new to brewing as well and finished my first kit a week or so ago. I went for the coopers stout,a chap at work raved about it. I used 1kg of brewing sugar, 1/2kg of Munson's enhancer and a tin of treacle. All I can say is wow! Tastes great and getting better every day.
